Title: Memory bus architecture for microprocessor system
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 1985-11-04
Abstract: An improved performance memory bus architecture comprising a standard unified bus, microprocessor system, and separate memory bus. Access to memory banks coupled to the memory bus may be made by subsystems communicating over the unified bus using the standard protocol of the unified bus, or may be made by the microprocessor using an improved access protocol method wherein an accessed memory bank generates an acknowledgement signal upon receipt of a READ or WRITE command rather than after the completion of the respective READ or WRITE operation. A further improvement comprises an Early READ/WRITE circuit that rapidly detects the initiation of a READ or WRITE command by the microprocessor by decoding standard microprocessor status signals in order to generally commence a READ or WRITE operation prior to the time that a normal READ or WRITE operation would be commenced under the prior art.

IPC: C25B11/12
Filed: 1984-06-22
Abstract: The invention includes electrodes having a plurality of fibers wherein an essentially continuous metallic coating of high bond strength extends over at least a portion of each fiber, and wherein the fibers provide a large surface area. The electrodes of the invention have an efficient electrical connection at their terminals comprising fiber/metal matrices which provide the desired connections to the terminals without damage to the fibers. The fiber metal matrices also provide excellent electrical contact between all of the fibers, and inhibit wicking of the electrolyte or process stream into the electrical connections. Where the fibers are coated along a substantial portion of their length, they also have a high electrical conductivity. The invention further includes electro-chemical cells, and processes for forming and utilizing the electrodes and cells.

Abstract: Carrier stock (10) is formed from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material, such as low density polyethylene, for machine application to side walls of substantially identical containers (12). Integrally joined band segments (22,24,26,28,32,34,36,40) defining separate apertures (14) to receive the individual containers (12) include longitudinal (22,24), cross (32,34,36,40), and diagonal (26,28) segments. The diagonal segments (26,28) are joined together at generally X-shaped junctions (42). From each junction (42), the generally oblique segments of a first pair (26a,28a) are continuously curved toward the nearer edge of such stock (10) and the diagonal segments of a second pair (26b,28b) are substantially straight and tend toward the other edge of such stock. Each diagonal segment (26a, 28a) of the first pair at each junction has a progressively changing width, being wider at its end (48) joined at such junction (42) than at its other end (46). Each diagonal segment (26b,28b) of the second pair at each junction has a substantially uniform width. <IMAGE>

Title: Avstengningskrets ved hoeyt lysnivaa for en fluks-overvaakningsanordnin
Inventor: GRAMER MARK EVERETT
IPC: H01J43/30
Filed: 1992-02-05
Abstract: En avstengningskrets ved hoyt lysnivå for en fluks-overvåkningsanordning omfatter en fotodetektor og en integrator. Innfallende lys som treffer fotc- detektoren, får dens motstand til å endre seg, noe som resulterer i en spennings-endring ved foto- detektoren. Så lenge fotodetektor-spenningen er under et forste terskelspenningsnivå, er integra- toren inoperativ. Når spenningen ved fotodetektoren overstiger terskelspenningen, blir denne spenningen så tilfort inngangen på integratoren. Den integre- rende kondensatoren kan nå lades, noe som resulterer i integrasjon av den inngangsstrom som frembringes av fotodetektor-spenningen til integratoren, for å frembringe en integrator-utgangsspenning som er pro- porsjonal med integralet av inngangsstrømmen. Jo høyere det innkommende lysnivå er, jo storre blir derfor inngangsspenningen til integra- toren, noe som resulterer i at integratorens utgangsspenning når en forut bestemt, annen terskel- spenning hurtigere. Når utgangen fra integratoren når denne annen terskelspenning, vil den via en ytterligere krets forårsake at energien til bilde- forsterkeranordningen blir avbrutt.

Date Nov. 14, 1991.A lens system comprising a frame that fixes to a head of a user of the lens system. Associated with the system are first and second magnifiers that are movable with respect to each other and with respect to the frame. The first and second magnifiers have respective oculars and objectives. The magnifiers are associated with a distance measuring means for measuring the distance from the user to an object to be viewed by the user. They provide a connected control unit with a signal representative of the distance. Driving means connected to the control unit are provided. The control unit provides the driving means with a control signal in response to the signal received from the distance measuring means. There are first displacement transferring means connected to the driving means for displacing the objectives with respect to the first and the second ocular. The focal length of each magnifier is adapted to the distance measured by the distance measuring means. The object can be sharply viewed by the user by means of each of the magnifiers. The second displacement transferring means is arranged functionally for displacing the first and second magnifiers with respect to each other and with respect to the frame in response to a signal provided by the distance measuring means in such a manner that the optical axes of the magnifiers which extend substantially through the optical center of the relevant eye, intersect each other at the distance measured by the distance measuring means.

Inventor: EMBLEM ROLF
IPC: B63B27/24
Filed: 1995-10-06
Abstract: Det er beskrevet en fremgangsmåte for i laste og losse et tankskip med et fluid, fortrinnsvis hydrokarboner hovedsakelig i væskefase, der skipets tanker før lastingen starter hovedsakelig er fylt med gass av den fluidtypen som skal lastes, uten innblanding av f.eks. inertgass, idet fluidet lastes i tankene samtidig med at gassen trekkes ut fra tankene, komprimeres og føres tilbake til tankene i fluidets væskefase, slik at utslipp av gass til omgivelsene i det vesentligste unngås. Etter at skipet er brakt til lossestedet, losses fluidet fra tankene samudig med at det skapes en gass av fluidet enten ved at fluidet gasser av som følge av det undertrykk som skapes i tankene ved lossingen, eller ved at det aktivt påvirkes slik at det produseres gass. Derved vil tankene etter lossingen utelukkende inneholde fluidgass, uten innblanding inertgass. Det er også beskrevet en anordning for gjennomføring av fremgangsmåten.
